David Penn with SignGospel Ministries for the Deaf in Kumba, Cameroon

Hello brothers in Christ, I am David Penn writing to appreciate you for the good work you are doing in the Lord among the Deaf. We are also doing the work over here in Kumba, Cameroon; facing and picking up the same challenges in His name. Our ministry is called SignGospel Ministries for the Deaf.

For now we hold our meetings at the Presbyterian Youth Centre and we are praying for our own permanent Ministry centre.We meet every Tuesdays for Bible studies, Thursdays for Prayer and Sundays for worship. We have 34 people in attendance at the Sunday service; mostly Deaf adults from downtown , Kumba. I am also the principal of Ephphatha Institute for the Deaf here. We have a 68 pupils/students who are also being impacted by our ministry.

JANUARY 2009 UPDATE
It is a blessing to have you as our prayer partner. Because for this ministry to make headway and impact the lives of the deaf people in our community, be believe we need to show our total dependence and reliance on the Lord in prayer and fasting. Thank you for praying.

Praise report:
Our ministry is growing. Our Deaf leaders are growing in their faith and knowledge of our Lord and are gradually taking over the many responsibilities in this ministry. The Lord has just provided us a ministry centre downtown Kumba; we shall send you photos when we start meeting there. The place will used for "Empowering the deaf for life and Godliness."

David Penn with SignGospel Ministries for the Deaf in Kumba, Cameroon

During this Christmas break we visited 4 churches in the capital city (Yaounde) with songs and dramas in Sign Language; we told them about the Deaf; that they can do anything; they just need us to believe in them and open them some doors; give them a chance to show what they can do.

The response was incredible...people were some moved that some of them couldn’t retain their tears. They gave us a tremendous support for the ministry projects and promised to do even more. Some people thought; if the Deaf can praise God, what about me? Alleluia! Isn’t the Lord a Good God?

Needs and prayer points:
We are considering possibilities of producing our own DVDs. We need to equip our ministry center with chairs, a chalkboard, a TV set and a DVD payer, a digital video Camara, a projector.

We would like to create a Multi purpose Church Centre for the Deaf in Kumba Town and a chapel in the deaf school. For more information about other needs of the deaf school, like scholarships, classrooms, Dormitory, people of goodwill should visit our website at www.cdeoocrs.org.

God Bless,

Bikond Andre Christophe in Obala, Cameroon

Hello, I am Andre Christophe. I am affiliated with the Free Presbyterian Church in Cameroun whence I have been ordained as pastor for the deaf. I myself am deaf. It is the first church who accept s deaf people. We have been working in this ministry for 5 years now without partnerships. Please consider partnering with us. We are looking for partnerships and assistance in the construction of 2 classrooms and a chaplain.

The Spirit of our Savior enables me to inform you and all christian deaf family that On April 2008 the free presbyterian church in Cameroun has decided to consecrate me as first deaf pastor in Cameroun. So please use your possibility to diffuse in your good english this message. And I need their financial and material assistance as it's our first time time in Cameroun.

Reverend Bikond, his wife and Reverend Jarrett

Dear Montoyas,

I want to thank you for featuring deaf missions in Africa on your website. As a result of your website information, I went to Cameroon and met with Rev Andre Bikond and was able to bring some school supplies etc to help him in his ministry. We will be going to Cameroon later this year and look forward to playing a part in the deaf ministry there. Just wanted to thank you.

I outlined the trip on our website at www.dothemission.com on the deaf page. It is going to be updated soon to reflect our partnership with the work in Cameroon.

My family (wife and 16 year daughter ) and I are planning on spending 6 months in Cameroon beginning in Sept (? as the Lord provides) and are looking forward to working with the deaf there. We served as church planting missionaries in Ukraine for almost 10 years and led many deaf to Christ. It was through this work that we developed a burden to help reach the deaf with the Gospel as well as help them grow in Christ.

While in Cameroon I went by canoe to an island off the coast to encourage churches there. As I left the island a deaf teen ran to me begging for help to eat. He can not sign, read or write. I was overwhelmed to learn there are so many people like this young man. I believe it was the Lord reminding me of the call He has put on my life to help and reach the deaf.

About The School In Cameroon: There are about 30 kids ranging in age from 3 and up. There is no electricity, no running water, etc. The classrooms are wood "shacks". They use ASL some French sign and some that would now be considered "cameroonian".

The pastor, Andrew Bikond, and his wife house and school the children. Many are cast off by their parents who don't know what to do with them. Their goal is to teach them to read, write, sign and to have a vocation and share the Gospel with them.

When we return it is our desire to bring practical items for living (like clothing) as well as books, teaching material, hopefully a computer (they can borrow a generator) Electric Hair clippers (rechargeable type) so they can learn "hairstyling and barbing.

They currently rent the land and house they are using and hope to build on land they are trying purchase. I am hoping to raise funds to help in the purchase of the land (it is 10,000 USD) on which to build deaf children's home and school.

Blessings,
Rt Rev Michael Jarrett
Missionary Bishop UAC Province II
